The Workforce Expansion Self-Employment Benefit Program helps unemployed individuals create a job for themselves by starting a new business.
The Employer Wage Subsidy program builds employer/employee relationships that promote the development of the unemployed to gain skills that ultimately result in long-term sustainable full-time employment. This program also aims at encouraging the hiring of individuals from select groups.
The Work Ability Program provides work experience opportunities to unemployed individuals who require a job placement to overcome a barrier as identified through their employment action plan.
